Chapter 5 by gunde gunde

What does she wants?

Steal something in return

“Alright, what’s your price then?” Lillian wondered
“Look,” Jade pushed the book over the table, “look at the drawing.”

And so Lillian did, carefully studying a leaf-covering drawing of a thick rod, attached to which were several perfectly cut stones that ran down its length in two intertwining spirals.
The notes in the margins of the leaf declared that the rod was made of solid gold, while the sizable stones were rubies and emeralds. The thing had to be worth a not too small fortune.

“Yes, I see it.” She told Jade, making sure to do so in a cold and steady tone of voice.
“Good, because if you want information about the phallus, you’ll have to bring me that there first.” Jade told her, drumming her finger against the drawing.
“Oh, and where can I find it?” Lillian asked, already aware of the fact that she would have to steal it from somebody.
“It’s currently in the possession of a wealthy merchant here in Tabriz, a man by the name of Berem Koster.”

Lillian had heard the name before, and was fully aware of the fact that Koster controlled the greater portion of the ****-trade from and to Tabriz. This was not a trade one got involved in if one wanted to respected by the inhabitants of Tabriz as a man of good moral fibre, but it paid well. And despite their loathing of ****-traders, the rich and mighty found the prospect of being able to buy a handsome young woman or man quite useful.

This meant that Koster had both money, and perhaps even some level of protection from the really powerful men and women of the city.

“And you want me to steal it then?” Lillian asked, aware that she was simply going through the motions before getting the job.
“You catch on quickly.” Jade replied, smirking at the half-elf.

Stealing from a man who could possibly call for the assistance of the rich to track her down, and even sell her as a **** if she were to be caught, Lillian knew that if she pulled this of, Ivy would have to be pretty damn grateful towards her once she had been saved from the influence of the artefact.

“And who am I stealing it for then?” Lillian asked, again mostly going through the motions, Jade would probably not be too keen on letting the name of her client come out.
“For a buyer from out-of-town who wishes to remain anonymous.”
Just as she had predicted.
“And when to you want it?” Lillian asked on, guessing that the answer would be something along the lines of the next few days.
“Before sundown the day after tomorrow. My buyer is getting impatient, I’m afraid.”
“Alright, I’ll have it here before then.”
“Good, I’ll be waiting.” Jade said and began to read the book once again, clearly signalling to Lillian that their meeting was over.

As Lillian walked out from the Sea Serpent, she was already working out a plan for getting control of the rod.

What does she plan to do?
